• Visual Studio VS could not copy a support file: *.vshost.exe to output directory

  I am getting this error or one that says the process can not be started because a file is locked; almost everytime I hit F5. My setup VS2005 Pro RTM with WinFX and DirectX 9 October. Does anyone know how to fix this (I tried the fixes for this seen in Beta 2 but it did not fix this issue Thanks, blair  I turned that  &@%^$ thing off in my projects, in the Project Designer's Debug Tab (option "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process"). I then had to delete all *.vshost.* files from my Bin folder. The problem that I experienced was that some type checking our code was doing was ...Show All

• Visual Basic Basic navigation in a dataset

  I retrieve a dataset and need to know how to perform basic navigation. I do not set a data source because my data location will change. How do you move next, previous, last, first. Also how do you find a record then locate the record pointer so the proper record displays on the form. Can you use the index of the row or does it change it a filter is applied Even a good reference would be appreciated. I've spent a few days trying to figure out navigation. Thanks If you don't set a datasource you can maintain a dataset containing relevant tables. tables are available in a table collection called tables ...Show All

• SQL Server .NET Remoting or Direct Connection to SQL Server 2005 Express

  Hi,   I'm currently designing an application that I want to be able to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Express either locally, over the LAN or through the internet. What is the best way to go about this:- 1. Should I allow the client application to connect directly to the SQL Server 2005 Express database whether the database be on the local machine, over the LAN or through the internet. 2. Should I use .NET Remoting by use of a server application to allow connection to the SQL Server 2005 Express database whether they be local, over the LAN or through the internet. 3.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SLOW motion when animating 56 and more ellipses...

  in my WPF prog i create 56 ellipses [no full opacity, each on its own canvas] on the fly [out of the resources of a grid] add a storyboard to each ellipse, add the storyboard then to a main storyboard and place them into a 8 x 7 Grid which occupies the whole window size [the window has a linear gradient as a background]. When i then kick off my storyboard the animations come to life BUT the whole thing lags as hell! No, don't have to make so much buzz but the cpu usage cranks up to 100% while the animations are going and during a animation pause the usage hardly comes down to a more moderate level. My opinion ...Show All

• .NET Development Bug? GetObjectData called multiple times for single reference

  The following code demonstrates that the BinaryFormatter will call GetObjectData on an reference to an object that has already been serialized. This would appear to be a bug. If the serializer keeps track of circular references and only writes the data out one time for each object, then this call is unncessary and potentially a huge performance hit. If circular references are to be handled correctly, then the serialization process must not change the object during serialization and therefore GetObjectData should only be called once for each reference. If serialization could change the serialized data with each call, circular references coul ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro RANDOM SEQUENCE

  I need to generate a list of all integer numbers from 1 to 100,000 inclusive but in a random order. I understand the random command can be used to generate "random" values but if I generate 100,000 random integer values, this is unlikely to be one instance of every integer value from the range I want. I could generate a value, check that it has not already been generated and store it or discard it before generating the next value but this seems very long winded. Could anyone suggest a more sensible way to do this Any help and forebearance will be much appreciated. Paul. >>I could generate a value, check t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help provider moved?

  Hi When I perform a search all providers except local fail with the following error : Object moved to http://services2.msdn.microsoft .com/search/service.asmx How can I fix this Same problem here. I had devenv.exe blocked for internet access, but it still gave that error, so the error must be generated internal to the document reader (probably yet another wininet kludge). If you see this, you can probably assume that you have no internet connectivity, as opposed to a real "wrong site". It just can't get into the right site! After unblocking devenv, and restarting same, all is well. ...Show All

• SQL Server Directly editing data in results pane with SQL 2005 Management Studio

  In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, one was able to edit and commit data on-the-fly directly from the results pane.  Action->Open Table->Query with the SQL Pane shown gives you an interface similar to Query Analyzer.  One could write a complex select statement with where clauses and joins, and the results pane would show the resulting data.  The data is editable and instantly updated.  We are now planning to migrate to SQL 2005 , and so will need the same capabilities that were availiable from its predecessor.  I believe there to be an option/configuration setting or panel in Management Studio that would expose thi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista vista 5231

  Help!!! Please.. I've just got build 5231, and installed it onto my box. Some weird and horrible reason it's not allowing my network card to install correctly. I have a SIS 900 integrated network card, that according to device manager, it has installed but requests me to re-install the drivers. When I go through the motions it has my drivers listed in the drivers list. But always reports that an error has occured whilst installing. I've downloaded the most upto date drivers from sis, and tried installing them via Compatibility mode ( set as xp ). But I get errors whilst doing that. Has anyone got any reasons why this would happen It's vital ...Show All

• Visual Basic Group Box Visibility

  Hi, I have two group boxes on a form both with additional group boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes, etc inside them. GroupBox1 has the visible property set to true in the properties window. GroupBox2 has the visible property set to false in the properties window. I use two command buttons to toggle the visibility of the two group boxes. My problem is this: 1. Even though the visible property is set to false in the properies window, GroupBox2 is still displayed when the form loads. Toggling the command buttons does show and hide the two GroupBoxes correctly when the two group boxes are not stacked on top of each in design mode. 2. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Does TFS send alerts/notifications? if so, when?

  Hi folks, we're looking at using TFS and have been impressed so far. The only team which have serious reservations is the team lead from our service centre. These guys report all bugs and possible QOS issues (eg. typo on welcome page, Fee report is crashing, etc). The first big upset is that TFS has no web access to work items :( So even though the company will have to spend big money on a TFS license (and some $$$ on hardware) we now have no choice but to get Teamplain's web access to TFS also. Money aside, the service desk need to be notififed/alerted for certain scenario's. Eg. if a work item is Rank 1 then they (who is they th ...Show All
